[Solved] Sensation won't charge when turned off (not fastboot) after S-Off

Just rooted my Sensation and everything went just fine. Achived root and all my root apps works. But:
Yesterday I got my Evo 3D battery and to give it the best start possible i turned the phone off (took out the battery and put it back in) to charge it overnight.
When I woke up this morning the phone wouldn't turn on and the led was blinking orange. Luckily I had my old battery so I could just pop that in to get the phone going. Tried to turn the phone completely off with this battery and this won't charge either. Charging will work just fine when the phone is turned on.
Looked over to the Evo 3D forum and there are several users experiencing the same problem.
Anyone got a solution?
Solution: Get the new Clockwork Recovery mod- v4.0.1.5

Same here. Kinda sucks! Hope a fix comes. do you have a link to the thread in the evo 3d section?

Same problem here, on a UK Vodafone Sensation with ENG S-OFF

my phone charge when off maybe somthing went wrong with you guys s-off

Mine charges when off as usual.
T-Mo S4G

Might be seeing the same thing on my S-off Bell Sensation when truly off (not just screen off or HTC fastboot off)...will need to do some more testing to see what is going on...

Samen here.
Phone is off, light goes orange and after 3 sec it starts flashing orange.

It only happens when the phone is truly off. Shut down in the menu doesn't turn the phone off, only hibernates it.

same happened to me, managed to get back in by going into fastboot then recovery then android.
was nearly a trip into town to buy an universal charger.

I just flashed the RCMix3D Aztec ROM by capychimp and my Sensation charges while completely off
EDIT: OK, no it doesn't. An orange light showed up after I removed the battery and inserted the cable, but I looked down and it had gone off. No luck when I put the cable back in, either

Can anyone help as to how to get my phone to turn back on??? Same as everyone else...i get a blinking orange light but it wont turn on!!! Please help!!!

Try removing the battery then turning on as normal.

I too was having this issue. Turned my phone off last night and put it on the charger only to wake up to a phone with the flashing orange light. I pulled the battery 3 times to get it to work and still couldn't get the phone to turn on. Finally I plugged my phone into the charger and left it for about 15 minutes and the phone was then able to turn back on. For some reason the phone never charged last night and the battery was dead, which is why the orange light was blinking.
Edit: Just tried to turn phone off again and charge it and now it's blinking green/orange. Guess I'll just have to charge it while it's on from now on until this is figured out.

ordered one of these just in case so i won't have this worry in future.

I do not recommend to use "universal" chargers for lithium-ion, lithium polymer batteries.
This can significantly reduce their lifespan.
P.S.
Tmous Sensation, S-OFF (Rev).
Remove -> insert battery, charging working with phone off =\

well im experiencing the same thing when phone is completely off but i was also reading in the htc vo 3d thread that their having the same issue and one person flashed a different recovery img and confirmed that its now working so im guessing the recovery img on the sensation is the problem why it isnt working.

Mine won't charge while off. No biggie since I'm used to that with NAND on my HD2.

Does this mean you cannot charge the phone at all if the phone is off and the battery is completely drained?

Help ME!!!! IT DIED!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the over dramatic title, but it usually attracts in more views.
I'm from Canada, and was using a Lg Optimus 2x p999, which in the states is a tmobile G2x.
The first time i used nvflash, it went through, but the phone wouldn't boot clockworkmod. It just showed the stock android. I re-did it, and it began to work.
I installed cyanogenmod stable 7.10.1, then installed a nightly v.201. IT was in a boot loop, but clearing the cache fixed that. Next, i installed a bad theme that killed the phone (bootloop again). Finally, i reinstalled the nightly, then installed a theme from this site.
so, it had :
Cyanogenmod 7 nightly 201 for lg g2x,
colorized for most roms theme pack (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121299)
I plugged the sucker in over nighty to charge. It was around ~34% charged when i plugged it in. Now, i get absolutely nothing from it. I tried to plug it without battery, with battery, boot into clockwork, but the phone doesn't respond at all! it's as if it died over night

Might sound dumb but your 100% it was charging? I plug it in sometimes and it is not charging until I move or wiggle it... maybe it just died by the battery. Plug it in leave it for about 10 minutes see if the battery logo comes up. 2nd plug it in to the computer does anything happen computer recognize the device any signs of life?

i'm sending mine to lg tomorrow. thursday night i fell asleep to some talk radio with phone plugged in. friday morning,alarm woke me up as usual. phone was plugged in all night. on my way to work, battery died.???? i plug in my car charger and get nothing from the phone. i then notice the micro usb port is extremely loose. i left it plugged in for an hour or so and it finally booted. i couldn't get the charging screen unless i had the plug just a certain way.
so maybe just leave it plugged in for an hour or so and see what happens.

this happened to me overnight

[Q] What could be my issue?

A week ago Tuesday, my TF101 (B40) and dock (B90) were working fine. I charged them up and then put them in a carry bag for a weekend trip (still docked). I never used it on the trip or the following week. This morning I tried to power it on and it wouldn't; I figured it was a dead battery. Still docked, I plugged it in and the light was solid red on the dock (not blinking red which it usually does when depleted). After over an hour, I still cannot power on my tablet. I now have the tablet plugged directly into the wall, no dock, but I thought I'd post to get some ideas in case that doesn't revive it. If it was all the way dead, how long would it likely take to charge enough to come on? Is there a way to see if there's something else? Unfortunately for me, I have some data on it that isn't on the microSD; is there any way to even get in a state to copy the files off as a USB drive or something?
It's unrooted, stock Honeycomb (I never upgraded because I use Flash in the stock browser for Amazon Prime).

Have you tried holding the power button for like 10 seconds, it could have just locked up holding it does a reset a bit like taking the battery out and putting it back in.
Also I believe in between the headphone jack and the HDMI there is a little hole, might be worth having a Google but I think that is another reset type button.
Even if the batt is completely dead it only needs to be plugged in for 5 secs for your to be able to switch it on with the power still in.

So it's been an hour and a half and it still won't power on, even holding it down for 30 seconds, and also doing a Volume Down + Power for 30 seconds. I'm trying to get a full charge on the dock now to make sure it isn't my charger or cable, and then I am hoping that re-docking will supply enough power to bring it on.
Edit: The dock now has a full charge, indicated with a green LED. The tablet is docked in and won't power up.

Actually, it might be working..
Try plugging it into a TV or another screen via HDMI cable..
I had a similar problem with mine, where I thought it was a power thing but infact it was a dead touch screen..
I actually did a complete flash back to stock via this method and sent it back for repair.
Lucky for me it still had the little sticker on the bottom of it and they replaced free of charge..

^^ This.
Otherwise I would completely kill the battery on the tablet, then try to recharge it via dock or direct cable, you may want to hold the power button for 30+secs to attempt to get it working, and see if your computer will detect it in APX mode via cable.. (Power + Vol up, no image will show) Then try reflashing it.
ToD

Thanks for responses so far. It now is recognized by Windows and I was able to get my data off, thankfully. I can't find my HDMI cable but I will try that soon to confirm it as a display issue.
Is there any chance it got a corrupted load from something OTA (I was still on Android 3.x) and is stuck in APX mode? It is a stock device but I read that APX-mode doesn't show you anything on the screen (like Fastboot does on my phone).

If its recognized by windows normally its not stuck in apx mode (windows detects "apx" mode, and you cant openly transfer files in apx) im assuming your not covered by warranty, you could pull it apart (easy to do) and see if anythings out of place, e.g loose connections, possibly even the battery connection but top priority is getting a hdmi connection going to see if its just the display or more.

there is a good youtube video that i used to confirm that i had touchscreen death.
its a tear down video and shows how to push the touch connector back into position as this seems to slide off
on a few devices, thus you lose touch screen.. check the q&a thread as i have posted a link to the video a few months ago..

^^ This, they are well known for pulling their own display cable out of place when they receive a knock, the ribbon cable is wrapped around the battery so when you knock it, the battery shifts and pulls the ribbon cable out of its socket, fairly easy fix once you get the back off and find the cable
Full teardown video here

Thanks to everyone who responded! I confirmed via HDMI that the tablet is working and the touch interface is active. I'll tear it down this weekend and put that cable back in!

So I'm bumping my old thread, because despite my good intentions in March I didn't try to open it up until a few weeks ago, and then the cable looked properly seated. I still disconnected and reconnected it to make sure and the tablet display still doesn't work.
Is there a chance I did something wrong or could it just be a bad display or other circuit board? I checked and via HDMI the touch interface still works. I don't want to give up on it because a repair or even buying a different TF101 off eBay is cheaper than a TF700+new dock.

Hi,
I have the same issue, received the phone from china yesterday and will only charge when the phone is turned off.
and pc wont recognize it when attached via usb.
Ive tried different usb cords and wall chargers all the same outcome.
Would it be a software issue?
and would flashing an updated rom fix issue?

Is possible your device have one connector disconnected is a "typical" issue in this device. Green circles mark the connector.

Thanks for the help.
So if the connector is disconnected it can still charge and get power?
Though if that is the case ill have to send it back to the supplier as it is 2 days old, which means $30 shipping and a month or so waiting for a replacement.

First before sending check that the drivers are properly installed.
Due to the connector, I let myself to recognize the PC as the connector goes from the load plate to the main board, this problem you happened to many people, after a fall of the phone will even have come to put paper below so as not to release more.
You can do the test pressing on the connector by removing the battery and putting the mobile on a towel to see if it connects, it does not remove it.
(sorry for my English i use google translate)

Sorry i dont understand the step with the towel.
The supplier got back to me saying the factory informed them it could be a back board issue? whatever that means?
I can return it or they can send out a new back board.
So not sure what to do?
Thinking about returning it and getting a full refund and trying another supplier?

Promblem is with charging iocean x7s! It can be charged only if it is turn off!!
Can I solve this problem?
Please help me

Nexus 5 shutting off randomly

My wife's nexus 5 seems to be shutting off randomly. Now I've had android long enough to know occasional random reboots are unavoidable but hers isn't rebooting it's just shutting down. Like this morning she went to get it off the charger and it was turned off. Also she'll pull it out of her pocket and it'll just be shut off. Hardware issue or known lollipop 5.1 issue? Seems to me random reboots are more common when it's software related. Never heard of a bad ROM causing a phone to shut down entirely

Is the power button stuck?

I have the problem :/

I would highly recommend that you flash completely back to stock kit kat and test, es Kit Kat because many users are have issues with 5.1 currently so it could be a bug.
The only other time I've had the issue you mentioned is when tinkering with my galaxy s insides. So unless you did that and aren't telling then no reason hardware related it should be doing that. hope it helps.

Yeah I never have messed with the insides, hell on her phone it's still stock locked bootloader and all. I did a factory reset which also wiped the user storage partition. Guess I could try kitkat, though she wasn't very happy after the reset lol. But at this point we're talking about making a square trade claim anyway so it's worth a shot
